Re: Screen Plays

Blocking a CB to prevent an int is pass interference. That was never Rudolphs responsibility on that play. Disagree. I believe you can absolutely block a DB on passes thrown behind the line of scrimmage, and no "illegal pick" or "offensive pass interference" would be called, par...

Re: Screen Plays

Having watched that play several times, I think Fitzpatrick baited both Cousins and Rudolph by faking a blitz and bouncing out immediately into the passing lane. I don't think Cousins saw him at all; Rudolph was in the way. I do think if Rudolph fired out, he could have blocked him, but Fitzpatrick'...

Re: Minnesota at Detroit

Must win. Is that too obvious? I just hope the Lions really are just playing out the string and trying to get their coach fired.

Re: Have the Vikings ever recovered from the Minneapolis Miracle?

I believe the Minneapolis Miracle had very little to nothing to do with our loss to Philadelphia in the NFCCG and absolutely nothing to do with our performance this season.

Re: Vikes vs. Bears - Pregame Thread

My brother is flying in from Utah with his family for Thanksgiving and arriving on Saturday so we can all go to the game at Soldier Field Sunday evening. Looking forward to it. Hoping for a 35-10 shellacking by the Vikes. The way the D played against Detroit, I am keeping my fingers crossed that all...

"People?" Are we talking about on this board? I thought it was just one poster.

Re: Jets Postgame Thread

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the blown non-call on the delay of game by the Jets on that pass that got them down to the one yard line before they scored their last TD. Clock was clearly at double zero for half a count before they snapped the ball. I paused the damn play when it was at double z...

Re: Eagles Postgame Thread

That philosophy is rooted in DeFilippo’s approach to continually get the ball to his best players. Cousins was 17-of-21 for 207 yards and a touchdown targeting both Diggs and Thielen on Sunday. He has completed 70 percent of his passes to that duo this season for 991 yards, six touchdowns and zero ...

Re: Eagles Postgame Thread

Totally a moot point, but could we have challenged the call that Rudolph stepped OB on his catch and run near the end of the game? The play is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jlXywol3gE&feature=youtu.be&t=146 I know they showed an angle on the broadcast where it "looked" li...

Thielen is THE MAN

First player since the merger to have five 100+ yard receiving games to start an NFL season. Kudos to our homegrown stud.

Loved how he corralled that onside kick to seal the game as well . . . .
